Setting

Combe and Watle Inn

After the exciting story told by Ethelaisly Trana retired once again upstairs to her room to scribe what she had learnt about fighting orcs.

Whilst Ethelaisly and Befony ordered some refreshments another hobbit entered the inn dressed smartly in a red hauberk. Oddly this hobbit wore boots. On hearing Ethellaisly and Befony mention blueberry muffins she came over and introduced herself as Nanteana of the Red Company. Ethelaisly recounted that she had been to Red Company’s Kin Hall, albeit briefly and that she had met a hobbit Blorlo Nanteana confirmed that she also knew Blorlo and wondered where he was. It was of some concern to them all that Blorlo and been away for such a long time.

After finishing their refreshments and Ethelasisly showing Befony her Halberdwhere and informing Nanteana of the recent events’ Stories, Orcs and Rohan where Ancthelm was also mentioned. Nanteana was able to answer some of the questions about “What happened to Ancthelm where is his brother Ancthan?”

Nanteana told them that Ancthelm died defending the Kin Hall but Ancthan’s fate was much more disturbing. Ancthan was unlike his brother and Ethelaisly, he was no fighter but a farmer. One day he came home with a sword. No one knew where he got it. That sword never left his side and over time he became less and less himself. The Red Company sought help first from Lord Elrond and then from Lady Galandriel to cleanse Acthan of the sword’s influence. But after each cleansing the possession returned. And now no one knows where he is and it has been months since anyone has seen him.
